Ons het op ons rondreis in 1977 baie Bruinmense in die besonder ook oor die naam van Upington ondervra, en gee hier enige verklarings saam met die van mnr Cornelissen. Hulle moet geleës word met wat genoem is in TH A** 662. Die konsensus van opinies verbind die ou inlandse naam met die gruishope, uitgewaste riviergruis.
